The wise and forbearant man
Samuel
Smiles
|
"Thus
character exhibits itself in self-control of speech as much as
in anything else. The wise and forbearant man will restrain his
desire to say a smart or severe thing at the expense of another's
feelings; while the fool blurts out what he thinks, and will sacrifice
his friend rather than his joke. "The mouth of a wise man," said
Solomon, "is in his heart; the heart of a fool is in his mouth."
